Red Bull boost due to exhaust, not DRS – report

Oct.10 (GMM/Inautonews.com) It is simplistic to say Red Bull has sped into the 2012 title favourites’ role due to its new ‘double DRS’ device.

As Sebastian Vettel closed the championship gap to Fernando Alonso to just 4 points with wins in Singapore and Suzuka, it had emerged that his RB8 was equipped with a new top speed-boosting system.

“As with all these things, there’s never a silver bullet and I think it would be very difficult to say the car’s performance here is purely down to a rear wing,” team boss Christian Horner said in Japan.

“I think we’ve made progress in all areas and it’s about chipping away at the detail.”
